MELBOURNE (Dow Jones)–Arrow Energy Ltd. (AOE.AU) said Wednesday that the company has completed the sale of a 12% stake in the Tipton West Joint Venture to a unit of Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA), subject to approvals.

Shell paid Brisbane-based Arrow A$49.5 million, half of the purchase price of A$99 million, to obtain a further 12% of the joint venture, with the balance payable after third party and regulatory approval, the company said in a statement.

Shell also will reimburse Arrow for 30% of any future contingent payments, or up to A$21 million, that the company makes to Beach Petroleum Ltd. (BPT.AU) under the terms of the Arrow/Beach Tipton West sale agreement, Arrow said.

After the completion of the transaction, ownership of the joint venture is 70% Arrow and 30% Shell, the company said.
